What is a PPSM file?

The PPSM (PowerPoint Macro-Enabled Slide Show) file format is a presentation file type developed by Microsoft, based on the Office Open XML (OOXML) standard defined in ISO/IEC 29500. Unlike standard PPTM files, PPSM files are configured to open directly in slide show mode rather than edit mode. The structure utilizes a ZIP-compressed XML framework containing a vbaProject.bin binary part to store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macros, along with separate folders for slides, media assets, and relationship (.rels) files.

How to open a PPSM file

PPSM files are natively supported by Microsoft PowerPoint (2007 and later) on Windows and macOS, which executes the contained macros upon opening if security settings permit. For users without the full Microsoft Office suite, files can be viewed using the free PowerPoint Viewer or LibreOffice Impress. On mobile devices, the Microsoft PowerPoint app provides compatibility, though macro execution is generally restricted on iOS and Android platforms.

What is a PPTX file?

The PPTX format is the default XML-based presentation file type for Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 and later, standardized as ECMA-376 and ISO/IEC 29500 (Office Open XML). It replaces the binary PPT format by using a ZIP-compressed directory structure containing separate XML files for slide data, themes, and metadata, alongside folders for embedded media. This modular architecture reduces file size via deflate compression and improves data recovery, as undamaged components remain accessible even if specific XML parts are corrupted.

How to open a PPTX file

PPTX is natively supported by all Microsoft PowerPoint versions from 2007 onwards on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. It has broad cross-platform support, with full editing capabilities available in Apple Keynote, Google Slides, and LibreOffice Impress. Because it is a ZIP archive, users can also rename the extension to .zip to manually extract embedded media assets without specialized software.
